What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

"@Blackcloud 🤩 how’s your week been? So good to hear uni is going well! How did the essay go? Was it an interesting topic? I know a bit tedious being an essay but hope there were some interesting parts to it!

I see you aren’t loving the weekend programs anymore. Sometimes that happens and it’s so fine, we have to do what feels right for us hey. I wonder what your plans might be on the weekends if you don’t do that program anymore? 😊. Thanks so much for your post always lovely hearing from you 🌻"

Hi @Chasingsunsets

I've been doing fine over the past few weeks - I mean what's even there to look forward to really lol. Yeah I finished the essay and I submitted it yesterday, hence it's due today so that's great. :) yeah the topic I chose for the essay was really interesting though I anticipate that I'm gonna be getting somewhere around the 60s for the essay anyway so :p can't wait to continue on with studying the sociology major and all until I finish my bachelors degree in years time!

Yeah I haven't been to that Saturday program for a month now and I don't plan on going there anymore which for me now is actually better not to go than it is to go.

Oh by the way I'm currently taking part of a pre-employment program in hospitality and it's in an inclusive environment that is merely for neurodivergent/disabled people and I'm enjoying it so far! I have classes for it every Tuesday late afternoons and they go until the last week of October! then after that that's when we're gonna be having coffee making classes and they'll be held from 9am until 1pm in the first few weeks of November. and then so forth... so basically after I finish the pre-employment program mid-2027 then that's when I'll be offered a paid employment in the cafe for 1 year or 1.5 years. I'm also currently seeking for supported employment that's catered to people with disability/neurodivergence like myself too so hopefully I'll be able to get there and hopefully earn extra income that is more than the usual amount I get from my DSP.

I did end up going to the wetlands but my parents came too. Mum talked all the way so it wasn’t really the peaceful experience I wanted. @Chasingsunsets @Taali @MissGremlin There were no pelicans or black swans 😢

This is the other side of the river where I was this morning.

Pix had a bit of fun.

Some of the views

Ever get that?

-

When Fear Awakes Our Night.

When anxious thoughts refuse to cease

and night will not bestow you peace,

Remember softly as you lie

the darkest hours still pass us by.

-

Though weary minds may toss and turn

and restless fears within us burn,

the morning waits beyond the strain

and gentle calm will come again.

-

So breathe a while and do not fight

each shadow moving through the night.

For even hearts that ache this deep

are still deserving rest and sleep.

Hi @Chasingsunsets, how are you today? 😊

Banana bread is the best! That’s good, it’s one of those things we know we have to do but can’t be bothered with at the same time haha. I’ll need to get my car serviced soon too

I know, it’s so hard when we start noticing them getting older ☹️ I totally get why you’re feeling sad about it

I get that, I always feel sleepy after my osteo appointment too and less tense!

My week has been good! I got my hair recoloured and cut, and I went for a different colour this time. I love it! I also had my dad’s birthday dinner last night. The rest of the weekend I’ll be cleaning the house, relaxing and seeing my mum tomorrow, we’re going to make a quiche together 😊

What about you, any plans? 💛
